Milano, 22nd March 2012. In the heart of Milan, between Via Senato and Via della Spiga, inside the well-known and very old Hotel Baglioni, is a small, treasured shop with Parisian taste, where style meets sophistication and the sought after Made in Italy quality. Amaranto Boutique was born from the idea of joining the sophistication of one style, absolutely personal and full of character, to the creativity and new ideas that new emerging stylists bring to fashion. And it is right here that yesterday I had the opportunity of choosing two outfits and interpreting them as I desired. Obviously there were a lot of wonderful clothes, but choosing wasn’t so difficult afterall. My idea was to choose elegant, yet aggressive clothes and give the outfit a touch of rock which is so me, plus accessories, make-up and hair to top it off. A two colour satin sheath dress with lace detailing and a white suit (I have always dreamt of owning one, and that one was so “mine” !). I didn’t want to try anything else on. I had decided and was content with my choice. I went straight to the princess suite where all the staff was waiting for me. I was the very first to “inaugurate” this day. After me were the other lucky bloggers who also enjoyed this wonderful experience! Step 1: make-up. Smoky eyes and natural lips (decision taken with the make-up artist) Step 2: hair. Obviously a very rock look :-) !Step 3: get dressed.Step 4: strike a pose and have my photos takenI was completely at ease and I let myself go….it was really fun :-) As we all know, all good things must come to an end. Time literally flew by. I spent 3 hours there, but it didn’t seem possible! The people I met were all lovely, helpful and kind. The location was a fairytale and the wonderful day made everything just perfect. Thanks to everyone and see you soon, I hope!
